Quick Launch

Tours

There is no charge for tours and they usually take approximately an hour and a half.

It is not usually necessary to book but if you wish to reserve a place you may do so by calling the Tynwald Library on (01624) 685520 or emailing library@tynwald.org.im.

It is also possible to pre-book tours at other times, including evenings and weekends. To request this please call or email the Tynwald Library giving an indication of the requested date, time and number in your party and we will contact you to confirm.

Please be aware that due to the age of the building, some parts of the tour are accessible only via stairs. Mobility impaired visitors can be accommodated via a different route but prior notice would be appreciated.
